Call for contributions to the section Research Materials

Permanent call for papers

Les Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère is initiating a new online concept: an international scientific review which speaks to research communities concerned with architectural design and implementation, as well as the perceptions and functions brought on by city-wide and landscape-wide projects.

The aim of the review is to respond to current interests and questions, but also to challenge them, to improve them and to trigger new research inquiries. Every semester we will publish a new edition surrounding different themes which will be composed of about ten articles – written in both French and in English – as well as texts and documents.

The content will be divided into three sections that demonstrate the editorial activity of the review: Research News; Research Tools and Materials; Debates. The expected scientific product adheres to the standard criteria for conducting a double-blind evaluation.

Section Research Materials

This section seeks to propose four types of contributions to the academic community:

1. The republication of texts;

2. Unpublished translations of French articles;

3. Relevant materials for logbooks and ongoing investigations that reflect the work of researchers as well as their research conditions;

4. Interviews with researchers, practitioners and actors who are invested in research.

Structure and Expected Formats

The section is divided into four sub-sections:

1. Rare texts or references that have been republished accompanied by an introductory note and a critique (2,000 characters) which situates the context of the republished text and its importance (long format: up to 40,000 characters, 5 to 10 images);

2. Unpublished translations of articles: accompanied by an introductory note (2,000 characters) restating the context and the importance of the translated text (up to 30,000 characters);

3. Excerpts from investigation logs and logbooks expressing researchers’ reflexivity (5,000 to 15,000 characters);

4. Interviews, data collection of actors’ perspectives: (up to 40,000 characters, 15 images).

The texts must respect the review’s editorial standards which are restated below.

The articles must be accompanied by a bibliographic record of 5 to 10 lines, two summaries – one in French and one in English –, as well as 5 key words in French and in English

Modes for article submission

The proposed contributions must be addressed to the journal’s Secretary of the Editorial Board at craup.secretariat@gmail.com using an electronic format (doc, odt) with images included.

Please include in the subject line, “Contribution proposal to the section: Research Materials”.

Editorial line

Placed in the fields of architectural, urban and landscape research, the Cahiers initially developed from the 1970s in research labs of the French schools of architecture. On becoming an online international journal, the Cahiers initiates today a new formula targeted towards the research communities concerned by intentional transformations of space, whatever the scales. The journal aims at meeting current interests and issues in these fields, seeking to renew them and to open new directions of research. Three main research issues are more directly questioned. One specifically concerns theoretical aspects, in order to develop exchanges and discussions between theories of design, planning, architecture and landscape. Another issue refers to the materiality of the city, the technical know-how involved in spatial transformation, but also the material dimension of of transfer and mobilization phenomena, often analyzed in other journals from a-spatial angles. Lastly, the third issue questions the project and its design, which holds a special place in the sciences and the practice of space (performative roles of projects, theories of practice). These three poles call for interdisciplinary works, dedicated to trace in-depth explanations of the transformations of the built environment at the Anthropocene Era. The expected scientific production refers to common criteria of peer reviewing processes. It could pay a particular attention to the issues of pictures and visual production in a field where images can serve as discourse.

Thematics folders

Les Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère online issue two or three time a year a thematic folder dedicated to a specific and problematized theme, and which consists of around ten articles in French and English.

A call for papers is broadcasted for each thematic heading. Proposals may be in French or English. The evaluation is peer-rewiewed.

Sections

The online magazine has 3 headings to accommodate miscellaneous articles, and outside thematic folders.

Research news: Various reports: theses, entitlement to supervise research, reviews of works, exhibitions

Research Materials: interviews, practitioners’ discourses, translations, reference texts ...

Debates: young researchers/doctorates, debates and controversies

Proposals may be in French or English. The texts are evaluated and peer-rewiewed.
